Question
Which of the following is an example of the transitive property?
- If x = 5 and x = y, then y = 5.
- If x = y then y = x
- x = x
- If 2x + 4 = 2, then x = - 1
Hint:
For a transitive relation
a->b
b->c
then a ->c
The correct answer is: If x = 5 and x = y, then y = 5.
From the given options
x = 5 and x = y, then y = 5.
that is y = x
x = 5 , so
so y = 5 follows
So , it is transitive .
whenever x = y and y = z, then also x = z.
